This was bound to happen...

All this tinkering around with my mac as resulted in tragedy. I just deteled 2,000+ songs. Yes, I did. "Didn't you backup your music?" Where do you think I deleted it from? Yes I am an ass. Big, hairy ass. But I am getting my purchased music back. But, all my "other" downloads are gone. I deserve it.

Yup, Senuti is a great program to transfer music/video from your iPhone/iPod to another computer; it's limited to the number of files you can transfer if you are not willing to pay the fee for unlimited transfers...

sorry to hear.. i had a problem like this and ended up having to buy a program that allowed me to transfer from iphone to macbook.. pain in the butt i know, however as long as you got the songs on your ipod still you should be alright.

Unless his iPod is an iPhone, he can get the songs back by accessing the iPod like a hard-drive.

Make sure hidden files are shown. Open up the hidden folder, I forget its name off the top of my head, and all your songs are in there. The file names are gibberish 4 digit alphanumeric names, but iTunes reads the song title/artist/album from the tag information.
